Is CodeGuide better than MakePRD?

It depends on what you need. CodeGuide is better for deep spec-driven context — wireframes, database schemas, GitHub repo documentation, starter kits, and a Chrome extension. MakePRD is better when you want a fast Vibe Prompt plus launch copy in one session. Neither is objectively better; the right tool matches your next build step.

Does CodeGuide or MakePRD replace an AI builder like Cursor or Lovable?

No. Both tools create context and planning documents. You still need Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, Claude Code, or another AI builder to write the actual application code. Think of CodeGuide and MakePRD as the planning layer — not a replacement for the builder.

Does CodeGuide have a free plan?

Yes. CodeGuide offers a free plan with 120 one-time credits covering one complete project, 5 LLM models, and Chrome extension access. MakePRD does not have a free tier; the lowest entry point is $9/month.

Can I use CodeGuide or MakePRD for an existing codebase?

CodeGuide can document an existing GitHub codebase, making it one of the few tools in this category that works for ongoing projects. MakePRD is focused on new product ideas and does not offer existing repo analysis.

Which tool is better for non-technical founders?

MakePRD is simpler to start — describe an idea and get a build prompt fast. But it lacks planning depth non-technical founders need most: tech stack decisions, security considerations, and structured implementation order. CodeGuide offers more depth but assumes some technical fluency. LaunchGuide is built specifically for non-technical founders.

Do CodeGuide or MakePRD support AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md files?

Neither tool currently generates AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, or similar agent configuration files as a first-class output. For structured agent config files for Claude Code, Cline, or Roocode, Vibe Workflow includes that in its free browser-based workflow.

Which tool is better for a $29/month budget?

At $29/month, CodeGuide's Founder plan offers 18 projects/month, 6,000 credits, wireframes, design prototypes, team features, GitHub docs, and Sv2 agent access. MakePRD's Pro plan gives 180 PRD generations/month, all templates, and priority support. LaunchGuide is also $29/month with a 7-day free trial and no credit card required.
